Abortion is the most vicious act of dehumanization, spiritual oppression, and physical destruction being carried out in our world today. Abortion is never the right choice, never the only option, and never the best solution to any situation. Every abortion that occurs in our culture ends the life of a child who has been abandoned by their father, betrayed by their mother, and forsaken by our society. Every abortion sheds the innocent blood of child made in the image of God. Every abortion murders our neighbor. (Add a sentence on true religion…aBORTION oppresses abandoned women and destroys orphaned fatherless children)Abortion is an affront to God and a violation of His law. To do nothing about it is a failure to obey Christ’s command that we love the Lord with all our heart, soul, and mind and love our neighbors as ourselves. To refuse to bring the light of the Gospel into conflict with the darkness of abortion is to abandon or confine the Great Commission.Jesus Christ called us to care for the weakest members of our society, not abandon them to destruction. Undoubtedly, this includes the children killed by abortion. Mothers and fathers do not own their preborn children like property and have no right to determine whether they live or die. Abortion is sin and we are all guilty of participating in its continued cultural prevalence. In the manner of earlier abolitionists, we are calling on our culture to Repent! We are calling on the churches in America who have made peace with abortion and tolerated its practice to repent!The good news is that Christ forgives all who confess their sins and turn from them to follow Him as Lord. This includes women who have killed their preborn children and men who have helped or encouraged them to do so. This includes the nation that has sanctioned and encouraged the crime, and the church that has stood silently by while the image of their God was being defiled in darkness and their neighbors were being destroyed down the street from their place of worship.
